Do Nesba require for helmets to be Snell rated or just DOT?

The manual states full face DOT, SNELL, or European standard. That sounds to me like just DOT is ok. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me!

regardless, it's your head
Lenny was not only nice enough to check my helmet during tech inspection several times last year, but also point out why mine was or wasn't ok. (i.e. - my helmet is a bit loose in the forehead, but good through the cheek pads. Helped a TON when I bought my new lid.)

Yeah, I'd prefer both DOT and SNELL, but that's just my head! Fit is important, too, and they'll be checking that at tech. I don't believe it's a requirement, but if your lid is over 5 years old, you should strongly consider replacing it.
From the Manual:
"Helmet, undamaged, full-face DOT, SNELL, or European standard
approved, with eye protection. No flip-up helmets allowed."
There used to be a requirement of the helmet's manufacture date being less than 5 years before the track day, but it seems to have been removed. Still a good idea to not ride with a very old lid though.

Quote from the riders manual:
"Helmets are not required. Natural selection is in full effect."

Thanks guys, just wasn't sure if it was DOT + the other standards or did each rating was ok by itself. Thanks all the same.
